THESMOPHORIA SPIRITUALITY

PART TWO: THE THESMOPHORIA CONSTITUTION

THESMOPHORIA CONSTITUTION

By Sensei Erwin L. Rimban

The Philippine Islands

Originally conceived and written September 13, 2014

Revised September 1, 2020

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE I

I am a Sophian soul, manifesting as a human being. I am currently a citizen of the Multiverse. I am a disciple of the symmetry of Ultimate Reality. Consequently, I have the rights and privileges of a cosmic being and a citizen of the manifolds of the Cosmos, fully recognizing the diversity, multiplicity and infinity of the Cosmic Ensemble, and its capacity to express and evolve all forms of Life.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE II

I am a Sophian souI, manifesting as a human being. I have the right to Life and meaningful existence. In all my cosmic explorations, I have the right to protect the identity and security of my cosmic being, fully recognizing the rights of other cosmic beings to the same. In addition, I have the right to celebrate, evolve, modify and live my own cosmic identity, cognizant of the dynamics of existential change. I fully respect the rights of other cosmic beings to the same. I have the right to liberty from discrimination as to my essential nature, and the right to express that nature in forms that I contemplate, ranging from parsimony to infinity.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE III

I am a Sophian souI, manifesting as a human being. I have the right to Truth, and Knowledge, and Wisdom. I have the right to access, articulate, contemplate, convey, celebrate and disseminate Truth in all its forms, without endangering the harmony of the Cosmos in the pursuit of that truth. I fully respect the rights of all other cosmic beings to Truth and the celebration of Truth in the community of cosmic beings. I fully realize that Truth can have a diversity of expressions in different contexts, ecologies, environments, systems and realities. I am open to appreciating the expressions of Truth in panoramas of diversity and efflorescence.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE IV

I am a Sophian souI, manifesting as a human being. I have the right to free expression. I have the right to express myself aesthetically and experientially in all the forms of Art. I have the right to pursue, celebrate, present, modify and convey my Art in all forms possible, as long as it does not injure a cosmic being, or cause injury to humanity or the community of cosmic beings in any way. Whenever my Art causes discord in the harmony of the Cosmos or purports to cause injury to any being or system of beings, I am willing to enter dialogue to modify such Art and rectify its mistake, in order to preserve and facilitate the harmony of the community of cosmic beings. I am an avatar of cosmic responsibility. I uphold the harmony of the whole, as well as the rights of evolving beings to pursue experiential paradigms in any soul curriculum frameworks of their choice. I fully respect the capabilities of cosmic beings to grow from experience. I vow to nurture all Art that radiates wholeness and spiritual evolution.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE V

I am a Sophian souI, manifesting as a human being. Being a child of the Cosmos, I have the right to go Home. In all my cosmic adventures, I have the right to inquire and quest for my true home, and the nativity and origin of my being. In all cases where Home is situated in the higher realms or densities, I have the right to pursue Ascension in all its forms. Whenever such desire and quest occurs, the systems and communities of beings in the Cosmos must respect this right and provide meaningful assistance if requested, or refrain from constructing any impediments, as well as allow me the right to go Home peacefully, cheerfully, and cordially. In the same manner, I fully respect the rights and spaces of other cosmic beings. If my assistance is requested, I am willing to provide guidance in the wisdom quest, reflective of my current capacities. I shall not impose on others. I shall not dominate others, nor cause others to unconsciously enter into hierarchies of oppression. I shall not seek to nurture cosmic frequencies which create a lacunae of extremity and chaos. I have the right to extricate myself from the impediments to the wisdom quest, as well as all other systems born of polarity dualities which prevents my Ascension and return to the higher densities.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE VI

I am a Sophian souI, manifesting as a human being. I have the right to experience all the facets of Ultimate Reality in all the realms, planes and densities of the Cosmos. Let no system of thought, or set of beings ensnare, or deceive, or enslave me in my peaceful exploration. Whenever such dichotomies of deception occur, I have the liberty to exercise my right to resolve my existential dilemmas and restore my harmony, integrity and independence within the concord of cosmic harmony. Let my thoughts dwell on unity encompassing diversity, fully realizing the rights of other communities of beings to experience Ultimate Reality in their own ways, modes, styles, contexts and frames of reference.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE VII

I am a Sophian souI, manifesting as a human being. And I am free. I am free to travel the manifold dimensions of the Cosmos. Let us all respect the rights of all cosmic being to cheerfully experience Life in all its forms, enjoy the Cosmic Ensemble, spiritually grow, exercise cosmic creativity, acquire Wisdom and return Home. I am aware that the Cosmos multiplies itself in infinite complexities and infinite permutations. I am aware that flow, and not control, is the best teaching paradigm for all the densities. I dance with flow, and cheerfully navigate paradoxes of being with wonder and serenity. I understand that the quest for understanding is the summit of the wisdom quest. I promote avenues of understanding between fractals and among fractals. I dance the circumplex of energy and synergy, and wish the same for fellow cosmic beings. I understand that this dance of alchemy occurs in different frequencies and modalities. I respect the arrival of a learner into the lesson, in its own tempo, rhythm, pace and artistry.

FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE VIII

I am a Sophian souI, manifesting as a human being. I am free. I am Love. And I am an advocate of Balance, Symmetry, Novelty and Infinity.

Peace and love to all Cosmic Beings!
